Star Citizen Online: Isekai Edition

After half an hour of the fight, Arcturus already began showing signs of fatigue and lack of Psionic Energy because even though he had tremendous reserves of Psionic Energy for someone at the Delta-Grade Psyker and his regeneration rate was also above the charts, Professor Kazar knew exactly how to drain him of his advantages.

Even though it was evident that Professor Kazar was holding back during the match, it was more than clear that Arcturus was no match for the man who was casually attacking him from time to time, and with each executed attack, Arcturus was forced to put more effort and energy either into blocking or dodging.

He dismissed the notifications from the System about the growth in the Psionic Energy Control Method, the Nuclear Chaos Formula, because that one was growing during the entire fight because Arcturus was forced to use the Nuclear Chaos Formula to the maximum during the fight.

Without the continuous usage of the Nuclear Chaos Formula, this match between him and Professor Kazar would have ended a long time ago, and only due to this skill, he was still fighting on borrowed time as he kept trying various tricks that his master taught him.

Unfortunately, his proficiency in the Psionic Arts wasn't really that advanced for him to execute them successfully, so very soon, the fight was nearing the end. Yet, Arcturus decided that he would be fighting till the end, and nothing less was acceptable.

Soon enough, though, he felt that his Psionic Energy was being drained as he was erecting one Psionic Shield after another, though all of them were being shattered by Professor Kazar in one hit when he sent his way Psionic Blasts.

The one thing that increased his bad mood was the sheer fact that the man in question wasn't even bothering to fight properly because, in his eyes, Arcturus was no real opponent, especially when he was using his Psiocs, which were his weakest side.

Just as his Psionic Shield was shattered into smitterness, he received tons of notifications from the System; he even managed to increase his proficiency in the Nuclear Chaos Formula to the Level 2 Apprentice during this spar.

This was already better than he had expected.

He even received several notifications about the growth in the Psionic Battle Arts, as the battle has ended in his total defeat. In the end, he didn't really manage to injure Professor Azur Kazar, but that was to be expected.

"And with this, the spar comes to an end. Better than expected, actually considering the data in your folder."

The Headmaster of the Imperial Phoenix Military Academy, Nathril El-Amini Kane, appeared in the middle of the sparring ring as he noted down as he looked at the Arcturus and then at Professor Arur Kazar.

"What do you say, Professor Kazar?"

The Headmaster asked the Head of the Psionic Combat Faculty at the Imperial Phoenix Military Academy when they finished the fight. Arur Kazar was the person responsible for teaching Psionic Combat at the Imperial Phoenix Military Academy, which was a very prestigious post.

At the same time, he was also one of the most skilled and proficient Psionics in the entire Eternal Empire of the Asurya, and his knowledge of the Psionic Abilities, Psionic Arts, and Psionic Combat.

Headmaster Kane also knew that Arur Kazar was not really that far from reaching the Beyodner Realm, which would be a tremendous achievement, but because there were not many people who managed to reach the Beyonder Realm as Psionics.

Even fewer people achieved the same end as the Warriors. It was extremely hard for the Warriors to reach the Beyonder Realm, unlike the Psykers, who had a vastly easier time reaching the Beyonder Realm.

"Not great, not terrible... the potential is excellent, the control over the Psionic Energy, its quantity and quality are superb, but the mastery over the Psionic Abilities is total garbage at best."

Headmaster Kane agreed with the evaluation of Professor Kazar because he could see that Arcturus indeed had many advantages that many Psionics would kill for, but he was unable to utilize them properly.

He understood the reason why Arsit recommended his disciple attend the Imperial Phoenix Military Academy to learn how to properly use the Psionic Abilities and become proper Psionics, something that the Imperial Phoenix Military Academy was specializing in.

According to Arsit's data, the Psionics was the weakest area of Arcturus, which was far more evident. Still, if he compared it to the Imperial Average, then he would still be far above the standards of the Empire, and Nathril El-Amini Kane could see that Arcturus Crawford had very high talent in the area of Psionics.

He was able to learn the techniques and Psionic Abilities during the fight and acclimatize to the fight with ease, something that not many could achieve.

Headmaster Kane and Professor Kazar both believed that Arcturus would be able to become very powerful Psionics in the near future, once he started properly training in the Psionic Arts.

"The Psionic Combat Test has been finished. Right now, you will be taken to one of the guest rooms, where you can rest and wait until tomorrow when the Psyker Ability Test commences."

Arcturus wasn't satisfied or disappointed with the result of the Psionic Combat Test because he already predicted the ending of the test. It wasn't anything great, but at the same time, it also wasn't really that terrible.

He knew very well his limits, so technically speaking, nothing went out of the norms.

***

The room that he was given was one of the spare guest rooms at the Imperial Phoenix Military Academy, so nothing was really luxurious here, albeit it was of that typical high-tech utilitarian minimalistic feeling.

It was entirely his cup of coffee, but he could manage it even though it was rather uncomfortable because, all of this time, he was living in something that could certainly be termed luxury.

Be it his chambers at the Obscurus that were made with the finest level of comfort or the place at the Grandmaster's dojo, which, while being rather simple in design, was still enormous space and a high degree of luxury.

So, the quarters that he received at the Imperial Phoenix Military Academy really seemed to be subpar to his normal dwellings, but he would manage. He was already dead tired from everything, especially from the Psionic Combat Test.

That one was really taking a toll on him because he wasn't used to fighting just with the Psionic Abilities, and he had to admit that it was rather taxing. Arcturus sat on the simple-looking bed as he breathed in relief and looked at the status sheet through the System.

There were some slight improvements, especially to the Nuclear Chaos Formula and Psionic Battle Arts, which was added to the status screen now that the System categorized the Psionic Battle Arts as Skill.

He also saw there the Psionic Abilities of the Psionics in one row, showcasing every single Psionic Ability that Arcturus learned, though, there were not really many of them, because he wasn't paying much attention to it.

"I should meditate for some time and go to sleep... tomorrow is the Psyker Ability Combat Test, which is more important than the Psionic Combat Test."

***

The next day, after a few hours in the morning, something before lunch, he was brought back to the Training Room.

Though this time, he wasn't going to find any of the Professors of the Imperial Phoenix Military Academy, but instead, it was decided that he would spar with the Headmaster Nathril El-Amine Kane himself.

In fact, Nathril El-Amine Kane was rather curious about the capabilities of the newest disciple of Arsit Byrmellir. Not to mention, this was another opportunity to see Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability, and there were not many of them, even in the Andromeda Galaxy; the number of people being born with the Super-High Risk Psyker Ability was just a few.

Those with the Primal Variation of the Super-High Risk Psyker Ability were even rarer, and thus, he was very curious about the Dimension Empyrean. From the data that were sent through by Arsit, Nathril found out that the ability was nothing short of overpowered.

It was extremely destructive in nature, with high combat and destructive prowess, while at the same time also having a corruption nature of the energy. Aside from all of this, it also showed that the versatility of the Dimension Empyrean was very high because the Psyker Ability could be used for defensive and auxiliary purposes.

So, one could say that it was a perfect all-rounded ability.

And it was also extremely dangerous, even compared to the different Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Abilities that he had seen in his world. Even though most of the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Abilities, not many were that dangerous, like the Dimension Empyrean or the Destruction Authority of Arsit Byrmellir.

"The Psyker Ability Combat Test would be overseen by me personally... you can use everything in your arsenal, clear?"

Headmaster Kane stated as he looked at Arcturus, who nodded in agreement and prepared for the combat. Because this time, he would be using the Pskyer Ability to fight, he was far more confident in his ability.

"Yes."

Arcturus answered as he already prepared the Dimension Empyrean for the action and activated the Empyrean Power in his body. The Empyrean Manifestation appeared around his body as he shot a wave of the Empyrean Power towards the Headmaster Kane.

The Highborne Asuryani looked at the Empyrean Power in wonder as he could clearly sense the power behind the Empyrean Power and the danger it represented. Even though he was Beyonder, he felt that if he was exposed to that kind of energy for a very long time, it could be dangerous to him, too.

He dodged to the side as he looked at the Empyrean Power curiously while he used the Psionic Energy to capture a few whisps of the Empyrean Power as he wanted to take a closer look at it.

But the moment his Psionic Energy came into contact with the Empyrean Power, the Empyrean Power started absorbing his Psionic Energy, which shocked the older Highborne Asuryani to the core.

'It was able to siphon power from the Psionic Energy of Beyonder and get stronger? What the hell is this ability?'

Headmaster Kane thought when he noticed that their entire environment was soon enough surrounded by some sort of crimson-blackish purple mist. It was another ability of the Dimension Empyrean, the Dimension Lost.

Fortunately for him, he was Beyonder, so he didn't have any problem seeing through the mist of the Dimension Lost.

Though the power of the Empyrean Power was something troublesome, he predicted that anything under the Beyonder Realm wouldn't be able to entirely and effortlessly withstand its corrosive nature without any side effects.

Headmaster Kane wasn't attacking or doing anything else aside from dodging the Arcturus's attacks that were from the condensed Empyrean Power. The Empyrean Manifestation was really powerful, and even though the consumption of Psionic Energy was tremendous, that much was clear from Headmaster Kane's observations.

He could also see that the mastery over the Dimension Empyrean was much higher than the Psionic Abilities for Arcturus, as he was using the Dimension Empyrean with utmost precision and grace in every single move.
